The rainbow bridge, which once flowed with the brilliant colors of the universe, has been dimmed, and the huge wounds and terrible ruins of war have scarred the bridge deck, and the aftermath of the shattering of time and space has almost completely destroyed this Asgardian miracle.

Not far away, a blinded Heimdall stood silently in the ruins facing the Nine Kingdoms, still loyally guarding Asgard.

On the golden throne, the lone crow circled and screamed, and finally landed on Odin's shoulder, gently patting Odin's shoulder with its broken wings, Odin's body was no longer as tall and firm as before, his face was tired and old, the main god of Asgard looked like a silent old man.

Silk ribbons tied his eyes, and divine blood oozed from under the ribbons, adding to the sadness of the scene.

"Father!" A dark shadow stood beside the stone pillar, looking directly at Odin on the throne, his gaze resting on Odin's blind eyes for a moment, revealing a hint of mixed feelings.

Odin on the throne let out a long sigh: "Loki, have you come to look directly at your father's weakness and spy on his throne?" ”

There was a tingle and resentment in Loki's eyes, but he still calmly replied: "No, my king, I am here to thank you for your forgiveness......"

"I don't want to forgive you...... I believe the flame of jealousy still burns in your heart. Loki, your nature is dangerous, but Thor convinced me, and he tried to prove that you can be trusted, that his love for your family is true......"

Odin seemed to be tired, and he sank his head and said sadly, "Asgard has reached the most dangerous moment, and I hope you can get through it with us...... Loki, don't live up to Thor's trust. ”

There was a sudden silence between the two, and the atmosphere became a little low and quiet.

After a long time, Odin spoke, "You've always wondered why I adopted you, right?" Adopt you, Laufey's son! Loki under the throne looked up in surprise and looked at his adoptive father with a somewhat confused expression.

"The war with the Frost Giants is a memory, and most of the Asgardians have long forgotten this history, but in my memory, the war between us and the Frost Giants of an undestroyed civilization was once very tragic...... They used to have a very powerful war civilization. ”

"That's a completely different thing than the Barbarians you remembered......

"Our enemies are very strong, the dark elves continue to infiltrate Asgard to wreak havoc, the dark stars are ready to move, and the elves and dwarves have other ideas...... And the Frost Giants entangled our armies on the battlefield, and the form was once precarious. ”

"At that time, our old enemies had a civilization that was not inferior to ours, and they had no fear of anyone except the apocalypse."

Odin's voice slowly deepened, and his eyes gradually drifted away, as if looking at the distant history through time, and Loki also followed Odin's narration, with some inexplicable emotions.

"Weird, isn't it? But my child, you must know that no civilization is born strong, and they all go through painful tempering, desperate transformation, until they pay a terrible price and drink the blood of heroes...... In order to forge out the brilliant brilliance. This process requires breaking its backbone and torturing the soul of this civilization, until it is a few times in the fire, and it is very successful to achieve a great civilization. ”

"Along the way, there are beasts like the Dark Elves and Frost Giants who have lost the war and are almost reduced to blood-drinking, and there are also those like the Dwarves and Elves who have lost their autonomy and chosen to submit to other great civilizations, and even more like humans...... Still faltering on the way, there are very few civilizations like Asgard that have created brilliance. ”

Odin stroked the blindfold of his left eye, his hands trembled slightly, he could barely hold the scepter, he kicked it heavily, and said to Loki excitedly: "You may wonder why I insist on participating in the stupid and complicated entanglement of mankind at such a terrible price. You think it's the reason I'm doting Thor, but I'm going to tell you......"

Odin looked at Loki with empty eyes, took two steps back in horror, and said word by word: "In my heart, there is nothing more important than Asgard!" ”

After saying this, Odin seemed to have lost all his strength, he leaned on the throne, stretched out a finger and stroked the head of the crow on his shoulder, the crow croaked twice, and also rubbed Odin intimately: "Haiji (thinking) is dead, how can Mu Lin (memory) live alone......"

He didn't finish his words, and the crow standing on Odin's shoulder returned to the sky with wings, leaving behind the scattered feathers in the sky, and disappeared in front of Loki's eyes, Loki watched the crow's soul turn into two, flew to the atrium, hovered over the battlefield of Washington, and returned to the bodies of the two dead crows next to the ancient snake Chen Ang in the past.

"They return to the bosom of death......" Odin said with a hint of sadness, "A long time ago, when Asgard was at a stalemate with the Frost Giants, they guided me to the World Tree, the place of wonders of the Nine Realms, the Fountain of Wisdom, where I paid the price of an eye, and prayed to the World Tree for wisdom to defeat the Frost Giants, and I succeeded in defeating Laufey...... He also took one of my eyes. ”

"So when I saw you, I felt a voice say to me, 'Leave him behind, it's your sin and your love, and I adopt you as a son.' At first I just believed in the guidance of wisdom, but then I slowly realized that Loki, my son, you are so good, and I see a shadow of myself in you...... You have Laufey's blood, but you also have Asgardian love and my soul. ”

"I thought I would always be proud of you......"

"The prophecy tells me that you will bring twilight to the gods of Asgard, and that you will let your father, your brother, perish forever...... But this is only one side of the prophecy, many people never know, prophecy is always a mixture of good and evil, you can bury the gods for the children of twilight. But you can also be my pride, protect Asgard, protect Thor, because of love. ”

"My dear child, I have to admit that for a time you have left me confused, and I do not know how to face you, your kindness and malice, your inner jealousy and love? I'm trying to test you, but it's getting farther and farther between us. I'm glad that Thor is steadfast in protecting his loved ones, but I'm at a loss for you. ”

Loki tilted his face slightly, preventing Odin from looking at his front.

"I felt that fate had come to me, and one evening I came to the fountain of wisdom, and this time I did not pray for strength and wisdom, I even threw Kungunir on the ground and prayed only to the World Tree for one answer - love and redemption!"

Loki suddenly saw the souls of two crows hovering between him and Odin, even though he was the god who controlled the illusion, he could not control it and fell into the darkness, and in the deep abyss, he saw the huge World Tree, the tree-like cosmic structure connecting the nine kingdoms, with a huge wail in the fire and war, and collapsed with a bang.

From the fallen roots of the World Tree, flew a monstrous black dragon, he gnawed at the foundations of the universe, the corpses of the gods of Asgard on its wings rose from the flames of the sky, it was clad in huge iron armor, its body burned with lava and flames, death hovered on its wings, and countless poisonous snakes crawled out from behind him, turning Asgard into hell.

He saw Odin being pounced on by a huge demon wolf, the demon wolf was biting at his flesh, Kungunir fell to the side, he saw Thor pounce on him in grief, picked up Kungunir and pierced through the heart of the demon wolf, but there was nothing he could do, Odin collapsed in a pool of blood, and ushered in the dusk - for some reason, Loki cried bitterly.

He saw the serpent wrapping around Thor, making him unable to lift his hammer, Thor broke free from the serpent and threw the hammer of Thor at the serpent's head, but he himself was bitten by the fangs and finally fell into the abyss with the serpent.

Eventually, the black dragon flew to the top of the World Tree, and in the face of the collapsed World Tree universe, it raised its head to the sky and roared, tearing apart the land of the Nine Kingdoms, and as a burst of darkness enveloped the land, the black dragon twisted into the shape of a man, laughing out loud in the twilight of the gods—and it was then that Loki could see his face clearly......

It was the ancient snake Chen Ang, who had a unique temperament that was different from the Apocalypse, and people could distinguish them at a glance.

"I gave my other eye to end that desperate twilight...... "Odin sighed, "but unfortunately I'm still wrong!" ”

"Why? Haven't you already killed him? Loki looked up.

The souls of the two crows took Loki to a void again, and after they died, they turned into crows, and everything they saw was repeated again, and Loki finally saw this time, and in the depths of the universe, four terrible beings with the deepest shadows descended on Yan......

"War, famine, pestilence, death, ......"

"These four calamities descended on the nine kingdoms in a long cycle, and they are called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and this calamity is also known as the disaster of the Apocalypse."

"Now they're coming again!" Odin sighed deeply.

The body of the ancient serpent Chen Ang, controlled by the apocalypse, greeted these four terrible disasters outside the solar system, and the famine merged with him, with a huge comet, flying towards Asgard. War fell on Earth, and the plague was with it, only clinging to it when it brushed the moon, only death, entangled with some huge planet in outer space.

Loki saw the giant black dragon open his eyes in Asgard; On the top floor of the Stark Building, a dark soul was suddenly struck by a silver streamer; A race of powerful psychic powers, whose crystal-cast realms haunt the shadow of death; Another group of humans, the ancient and angry civilization of Atlantis, suddenly discovers that they are infected with a strange virus.

The huge darkness came like a tidal wave, making Loki almost breathless with fear, and he could only watch as thick shadows filled the entire universe.

"Is the world going to end?" Loki could never have imagined that he would one day despair from destruction.
